Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
The underlying protocol by which WWW clients and servers communicate. HTTP is an
application-level, generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data
representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.
Integrated Windows Authentication
Previously known as Windows NT Challenge/Response (NT/CR) or NT LAN Manager (NTLM),
Integrated Windows Authentication is a secure form of web browser authentication using either the
Kerberos V5 authentication protocol or its own challenge/response authentication protocol.
This authentication method works best in an intranet environment where the types of web browsers
that your network DSView users access may be controlled. If you are already logged on to
Windows, Integrated Windows Authentication uses your logon information for authentication, so it
will not prompt for a username and password (known as Single Sign-On (SSO)).
Integrated Windows Authentication only works with Internet Explorer and does not work with an
HTTP proxy. Integrated Windows Authentication must be explicitly enabled under the Advance
Internet Options dialog box of Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and above.
Java
An environment for developing and deploying distributed, scalable, enterprise-level applications
designed to run on networks, the Internet, and the WWW. The Java platform consists of a set of
services, application program interfaces (APIs), and protocols that provide functionality for
developing multitiered, web-based applications.
KVM
An abbreviation for Keyboard Video Mouse.
KVM Session
A type of target device session in which the target device contains a KVM connection (typically a
server). KVM sessions are connected through a DSR switch. Tiered analog switches may also be
part of the connection. A KVM Video Viewer connection exists between the DSView Client and
the target device.
